We named our garden after our dear friend Lou. He died over five years ago. He had the most gorgeous garden and was so proud of it! He was so incredibly generous. We hope to embody the spirit of Lou. I want to always welcome friends over with open arms. I hope they know we always have plenty of food and they can pop by if they need a hug or need to go for a long walk.

Thank you, Lou, for loving me and Pedar and our boys. Thank you for encouraging me and loving us in our early married years of kids and projects. Thank you for always jumping into help with our crazy yard or house projects. Lou, you made everything seem possible. The way you encouraged our plans and cheered us on was such a boost to our morale. The way you would say, “Nor Nor, you need a beverage? You’re working so hard!”

Thank you Lou for the delicious meals that fed our bellies and souls. We miss you terribly. We wish you were here to see our boys that you were so happy to welcome. Until we hug again. Love you, Lou
